@ndw not going to deny the envy! Enjoy!

@ndw Most people’s requirements for data exchange are simple and so simple won. It isn’t “better” but it has a simple natural mapping to data structures keeping simple things easy to use.

Not simple or sufficient - JSON Schema: a hot mess of afterthoughts.

@MCDuncanLab @futurebird @llewelly there was nothing delicious about red delicious apples. They just had shelf life. That was the only fruit we had in winter.

@amyisard you right, there are many to follow. He’s the acrobat of the bunch. He also insists the umbrella in my office is his and drags it off to his lair.
Kitten crazy hour is now over.

HTTP has a new method: QUERY. Tl;dr: GET with a body.

(Doesn’t have an RFC number yet but has been approved, will get one in a few weeks.)

The HTTP QUERY Method

This specification defines the QUERY method for HTTP. A QUERY requests that the request target process the enclosed content in a safe and idempotent manner and then respond with the result of that processing. This is similar to POST requests but can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes.
